What it does

Buzz Media Attachments is an agent skill from tonbistudio/buzz-skills. Use when attaching a local media file to the active Buzz conversation. Do not use for general media editing or non-Buzz delivery.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).

The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3f2d570. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash, python and json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Buzz Media Attachments loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 385 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Buzz Media Attachments

Use this workflow when a user asks to post a local media file into the current Buzz conversation and normal MEDIA:/path delivery fails.

Workflow

Verify the source file exists and is readable. Use ffprobe for video metadata when relevant.

Find the current Buzz channel UUID from the live gateway log rather than guessing:

bash

# Search ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log for the user's latest inbound Buzz message.
# The line contains: platform=buzz ... chat=<CHANNEL_UUID>

Use Buzz's native attachment mechanism:
bash
```
buzz messages send \
  --channel <CHANNEL_UUID> \
  --content - \
  --file /absolute/path/to/file
```
--file may be repeated to attach several files to one message.

Load Buzz credentials without shell-sourcing .env. BUZZ_AUTH_TAG can contain JSON that shell source mangles. Parse the file with python-dotenv and pass values through a subprocess environment:

python

import os, subprocess
from dotenv import dotenv_values

env = os.environ.copy()
env.update({
    k: v for k, v in dotenv_values(os.path.expanduser("~/.hermes/.env")).items()
    if v is not None
})
result = subprocess.run(
    ["buzz", "messages", "send",
     "--channel", channel_id,
     "--content", "-",
     "--file", file_path],
    input=caption,
    text=True,
    env=env,
    capture_output=True,
    timeout=180,
)

If Buzz rejects an MP4, diagnose the returned relay error:
- moov atom not at front of file (not fast-start): first try remuxing:
  bash
```
ffmpeg -y -v error -i input.mp4 -c copy -movflags +faststart output.mp4
```
- media contains metadata or a non-canonical metadata channel: use Buzz Desktop's canonical sanitizer settings. A simple stream-copy remux is insufficient because FFmpeg may retain or add forbidden MP4 metadata structures. Fully re-encode exactly as follows:
  bash
```
ffmpeg -y -nostdin -loglevel error -protocol_whitelist file,pipe \
  -i input.mp4 \
  -map 0:v:0 -map '0:a:0?' \
  -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -sn -dn \
  -fflags +bitexact -flags:v +bitexact -flags:a +bitexact \
  -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 23 -pix_fmt yuv420p \
  -vf 'pad=ceil(iw/2)*2:ceil(ih/2)*2' \
  -c:a aac -b:a 128k \
  -movflags +faststart -metadata encoder= \
  output.mp4
```
  This matches block/buzz Desktop's transcode_to_mp4() implementation and produces the canonical H.264/AAC, metadata-free, fast-start MP4 expected by the relay.
- If canonical MP4 encoding is undesirable, fails, or the user specifically asks for Attach Image, convert a short clip to an animated GIF:
  bash
```
ffmpeg -y -v error -i input.mp4 \
  -vf "fps=12,scale=512:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=max_colors=128[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer" \
  -loop 0 -map_metadata -1 output.gif
```
Upload the resulting MP4 or GIF through buzz messages send --file.
Verify success from real output. Only report success when Buzz returns JSON containing:
json
```
{"accepted": true, "event_id": "..."}
```

Pitfalls

Plain MEDIA:/absolute/path.mp4 can route through Hermes' generic send_video fallback; Buzz may not implement native video delivery there.
Do not claim an attachment worked merely because the gateway accepted the assistant response. Check the Buzz CLI's accepted value and retain the event_id as verification.
Never print BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY or other .env values.
Keep converted GIFs in /tmp unless the user requests durable copies; do not modify the source MP4.
GIF conversion can increase file size. For long or high-resolution clips, lower fps, scale width, or color count before uploading.
